Criminal Psychology

Chapter 54 3 Graves

On the student square, Jiang Chao's subordinates controlled the field, and the onlookers were gradually dispersed, but there were still some stubborn students who still stood at the outermost edge of the cordon, looking around and refusing to leave.

Deputy Captain Jiang got off the police car. He had already received a report that another fucking student jumped off the building in Yongchuan University, and there were three more people, one with three heads. Now that the students did not obey the police's arrangement, he immediately Furious, he sneered and said to the students outside the cordon, "Come, come, you have nothing to do, come and take notes, and no one is allowed to leave!"

After Jiang Chao finished speaking, he winked at the police who were maintaining order. Several people surrounded the crowd and circled the students.

Ordinary college students, who have never seen such a battle, suddenly many people scattered and fled.

The square became quite empty again. Although there were countless people peeping at the scattered bloodstains and the police evidence collection process in the surrounding teaching buildings, the venue finally became quiet.

As soon as it was quiet, the crying sounded faintly.

Jiang Chao followed the prestige, and there were several crying girls sitting in the flower bed beside the square.

Those are the officers of the student union. Just now when Xu Haozhen and the three jumped off the building, they were standing at the center of the building, and they were overly frightened. There were two policewomen accompanying them, patting the girls on the back, trying to ask Come up with something.

And behind the flower bed, Lin Chen and Xing Conglian were standing there, they got very close, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Jiang Chao thought for a while, then went around to the flower bed and patted Lao Xing on the shoulder.

"I said Lao Xing, you are so unkind, do you know that those two little girls are crying like something, and you don't try to persuade them, and help make a confession or something!"

Jiang Chao didn't know the severity of his attack, Xing Conglian was caught off guard, and was beaten so hard that he almost fell off the flower bed.

"Keep your voice down." Xing Conglian turned his head and saw Jiang Chao kept glancing at Lin Chen, obviously drunk, he made a silent gesture to Jiang Chao and pulled him back.

"Your little girl's question is very good, please listen quietly."

"I'm sobbing, I have to ask when I'm going. Let your consultant Lin do me a favor and make a statement. It's best to have awesome details!" Jiang Chao leaned closer to Xing Conglian's ear and whispered Said loudly.He had read all the files of the "Candy Bandit" case, and it was amazing that Lin Chen could evoke the sporadic memories of the witnesses with just one phone call.

He wanted to say more, but a slightly cold voice rang in his ears.

"Actually, it's not necessary." Lin Chen folded his arms and stood in front of Jiang Chao and said, "I'm the witness. I watched Xu Haozhen jump from the rooftop with my own eyes."

Jiang Chao picked his ears, thinking he had a hearing problem.

Xing Conglian's gaze swept over Lin Chen's face, seeing his solemn face, clear eyes, but very pale face, Xing Conglian suddenly regretted not taking Lin Chen away from the scene quickly.

"You, what's going on?" Jiang Chao then pulled the two of them a little further away and asked in a low voice.

"At that time, I was in the classroom of the School of Psychology. I received a call from Captain Xing, saying that Jiang Liu appeared and went to the teaching building where I was. When I hung up the phone, someone jumped off the building. It was a boy. Lenovo When it comes to the previous case, I'm afraid things will not be so simple, soon, someone jumped off the building, and when I rushed to the roof, I happened to see Xu Haozhen sitting on the edge of the roof."

Lin Chen spoke concisely and briefly described what happened with Jiang Chao.

Although he spoke briefly, Jiang Chao felt goosebumps all over his body: "You just said that Xu Hao really jumped in front of you?"

"Yes."

"Then... did they say anything at the end?"

"She also said something to me."

"What did she say?"

"She said, brother, goodbye, you have to work hard."

Lin Chen's tone was very flat, and his voice was a little cold, completely stating what he heard at the time.

Jiang Chao's eyes widened, and his hair stood on end: "Isn't this sick? I asked you to cheer up before committing suicide. What kind of fuel did you ask you to cheer up?"

"I don't know." Lin Chen's mind was full of girls' smiles at the end of their lives.

How should I put it, Xu Haozhen was very sober at the time, she knew what she was doing very well, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, as if she could obtain the sublimation of life and soul just by jumping off the stairs.

"Damn..." Jiang Chao rubbed his arms and couldn't help but swear, "Is this school being demoted? One or two committed suicide, and six of them died!"

"It's not a lowering of the head. I'm afraid Xu Hao really died. She had planned it for a long time. Two hours before she jumped off the building, I met her once. At that time, she specially said goodbye to me..."

"Then why..." Hearing this, Jiang Chao wanted to speak, but Xing Conglian glanced at him, and swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Why didn't I see that Xu Hao was really suicidal?" Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian calmly.

"Actually, there is still a problem with this case." Xing Conglian couldn't help but interrupted Lin Chen, and didn't give Lin Chen any chance to say what he said next. He said: "The people gathered in the square just now There are too many people. The officers of the student union are organizing activities to find Jiangliu. Lao Jiang knows that we have not entrusted the student union to mobilize teachers and students to look for Jiangliu. Even the news of Jiangliu's disappearance is only spread in a small area. Why? So coincidentally, those three children would choose to commit suicide at the most crowded place, at that time?"

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at Xing Conglian, speechless for a long time.

On the flower bed in the distance, the girls were still sobbing, and the missing person notices all over the floor seemed to be the most silent mockery.

Lin Chen bent down and picked up the one at his feet. Jiang Liu in the photo was smiling as brightly as Xu Haozhen.

He finally looked at Jiang Chao, nodded, and said, "Let me do it."

Xing Conglian was slightly taken aback.

The amount of information just now was too great, Jiang Chao only felt that his brain had already acted immediately, he nodded in embarrassment, and saw Lin Chen turn around and walk towards the girl by the flower bed.

"I... I really can't remember." The girl's intermittent crying came with the wind, "Please don't ask me, please?"

Lin Chen walked up to the girl, squatted down, and kept his gaze level with hers.

Before the people around could react, his hand had already gently touched the girl's eyelids. His voice was very soft and quiet, but with a gentleness that comforted the trauma, he said: "I don't need you to answer the question, please shut up." Close your eyes, take three deep breaths with me, and then open your eyes, okay?"

The girl choked, then nodded.

"One, inhale..."

"Two, exhale..."

"Three, please open your eyes."

Lin Chen moved his hand away from the girl's eyes.

The girl opened her eyes, and there was an extra finger in front of her, that finger was very thin and white, and then she heard someone in front of her say: "Please look at my finger, look to the right."

Although she didn't know what happened, the girl couldn't help staring at that finger, and obediently looked to the right. Then, her gaze followed the finger again, and slowly moved to the left.

Standing on tiptoe, Jiang Chao looked at Lin Chen who was squatting on the ground and moved his fingers slowly, pulled Xing Conglian hard, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you ask him to ask questions, probably as a way to calm people down?" In Xing Conglian's voice, there was a coldness that he himself could not detect.

The time lasted for about half a minute, and the surroundings became silent.

Lin Chen's slowly moving fingers finally stopped.

"If you feel better, can you answer a question for me, please nod if you can," he said.

The girl calmed down strangely. She sucked her nose twice, and most of the original resistance disappeared.

"You... you can ask."

Jiang Chao saw it, and excitedly pulled Xing Conglian: "It seems to be hypnotized, this is amazing."

"Why are you handing out leaflets here, who sent you here?"

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, the other girl sitting next to her suddenly let out a wow and started to cry: "Yes... Senior sister Xu asked us to do this, she said, she said..."

The policewoman at the side hurriedly handed over the tissue, but Lin Chen didn't speak, just quietly looked at the girl in front of him.

"Senior Xu?"

"Xu...Senior sister said...Jiang Liu is gone, I'm afraid it's more or less ominous. As her classmates, we can help a little..."

"Sister Xu, is it Xu Haozhen?"

The girl nodded, her eyes filled with tears again: "Did senior sister Xu trick us here on purpose and let us watch her commit suicide?"

Looking at the painful girl in front of him, Lin Chen didn't answer. He stood up slowly, took out a pen from his pocket, opened the girl's palm, and wrote down a series of numbers.

"This is the assistance call of the school's psychological counseling center. You must seek professional help."

He said, looking at the policewoman on the flower bed together: "Wait a minute, please send them to see a psychiatrist."

---

After the noise, there was silence until dead silence.

There were fewer and fewer people in the square, and Lin Chen didn't say anything more. Taking advantage of Jiang Chao's presiding work, Xing Conglian quietly left the square with him.

It was class time, there were no students in the school, and everything seemed too quiet.

Before they knew it, the two walked to and from the edge of the big lake.

The sky was brilliant, and the entire surface of the lake was so bright that there was a strange halo floating gently on the surface of the lake.

The banyan tree is still luxuriant. Under the tree, there are many commemorative garlands, and there are even candles lit by students spontaneously. The candles have not been burned out, and the candlelight is still flickering.

Xing Cong patted Lin Chen's shoulder repeatedly, but was a little speechless.

Ever since Lin Chen said that to the policeman, he hasn't spoken again.

For eighteen or nineteen-year-old college students, witnessing someone committing suicide is probably the cruelest thing they have ever experienced in their lives.

As for Lin Chen, his junior sister jumped off a few steps away from him, but he failed to save her. Any normal person would blame himself and be sad.

In fact, Xing Conglian clearly felt just now that Lin Chen didn't want to ask for the confession, because he himself was confused and he was not ready, but at Jiang Chao's request, he quickly calmed down, and even in the end, Don't forget to remind those children to see a psychiatrist.

It's also really fucking professional.

Looking at the slightly thin back of the person in front of him, Xing Conglian felt irritable for no reason.

The strength on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. Lin Chen came back to his senses, saw Xing Conglian frowned, and remembered the conversation between him and Jiang Chao that Xing Conglian deliberately interrupted just now, he still said: "Don't worry, I won't It will be sad, but even if it is an ordinary psychological counselor, if he can't see that the patient has suicidal tendencies, it is considered a dereliction of duty, let alone me?"

Xing Conglian withdrew his hand and asked seriously: "You didn't realize that you have a very serious problem. Do you always feel that you are omnipotent?"

It's ludicrous to feel that I'm responsible for everyone, and to think that it's my fault if I didn't save a life.

"I know very well that I'm not a god, I can't save everyone, and I don't have the mentality of a holy father, and I won't attribute all mistakes to myself." Lin Chen's mouth showed a self-deprecating smile, "Maybe there used to be , but after really experiencing some things, you will find that human ability is always limited, and if you can’t do it, you can’t do it.”

"Then why do you still think that you are dereliction of duty, take a step back and say, this is not our case at all, and has nothing to do with your duty!"

"I'm just talking about things..."

"You're digging into a dead end."

Before Xing Conglian finished speaking, he felt his waist tighten. Lin Chen suddenly turned around and hugged him.

The hug time was very short, Lin Chen wrapped his arms around his waist, and then leaned his head on his shoulder. Before he could react, Lin Chen backed away, but in his breath, there was still something belonging to a psychologist. Although the time was short, it was clearly a very sincere hug.

Lin Chen said, "Thank you."

Xing Conglian was stunned, damn it, who is comforting whom?

"Thinking about it from another angle, even I didn't see that Xu Hao was really suicidal. Isn't this a strange thing?"

After all, it is Lin Chen, who is really good at how to calmly change the topic.Xing Conglian couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now, and his attention was quickly diverted from the hug just now. He only felt that this sentence was extremely conceited, but Lin Chen's words made people feel very reasonable .

"I also think that this is not your mistake. Perhaps these children committed suicide by jumping off the building, but that is not the same as suicide in the traditional sense?"

Xu Haozhen arranged for his classmates to distribute leaflets about looking for Jiang Liu, and intentionally gathered the crowd. She said goodbye to Lin Chen before jumping off. Judging from these small details, this is no longer a simple plan that has been planned for a long time. Therefore, , this is of course not a suicide of despair caused by negative emotions in the ordinary sense.

If this item is excluded, the remaining suicide motives become a little scary.

"Of course it's different. It's basically like a scripted suicide."

Lin Chen knelt down and stroked the soft soil in front of him. Yesterday morning, the bodies of three students were found by the lake one after another. A day later, three more students jumped off the teaching building one after another.

One, two, three corpses.

One, two, or three jumped off the building.

From fright to fright and then from fright to horror, the mood of any bystander is like riding a roller coaster. After twists and turns, they will experience the ultimate fear of rushing to hell.

The transitions in these two clips are too delicate, and this is really like a story that someone wrote a script and then performed it on the spot.

Everything is silent.

Xing Conglian took a deep breath, only feeling that Lin Chen's reasoning was too bold, but because of his boldness, it was terrifyingly reasonable.

Perhaps because it was too quiet, a burst of mobile phone ringing broke the silence around.

Xing Cong connected to the phone, and the voice of Dynasty Jump came: "Boss, Boss, are you in Yongchuan University? Did someone jump off the building just now?"

There was a rare tremor in the boy's voice.

"how do you know?"

Lin Chen stood up abruptly, looking at him with burning eyes.

Xing Conglian quickly realized the problem here.

Wang Chao should be working alone in the hotel now, and both he and Lin Chen have still had time to tell Wang Chao about the new case of jumping off a building, so how did Wang Chao know?

"I... I seem to have found their live broadcast website..."

said the boy in fear.
